Why not celebrate the holiday of all costume holidays this Halloween? So what if Mardi Gras is usually in February or March! I won't tell if you won't! It's a time for reveling, getting unusually crazy and doing it all behind a mask. Invite your friends to do just that with you! As a special tribute to Voodoo of the South, take this twist to give your Mardi Gras a special tone.

 

What is voodoo? Here's history on Voodoo in New Orleans.

 

Halloween Party Invitations

 

Send a Mardi Gras mask with an invitation. Purple, green and yellow are Mardi Gras colors, but don't hesitate to add orange. Do something simple and include a mask for guests to wear or let them create their own. Make sure to tell guests the colors, and tell them to meet you in the dark swamplands of Louisiana!

 

If you want to follow the voodoo theme, write your invitation as a spell, with the pertinent details, on parchment paper and send it off to your guests. Alternatively, send a voodoo doll with the invite, if you are brave enough to do it.

 

If you don’t have time to create your own invitation but you still want the personal touch we have Halloween invitations and Mardi Gras invitations that you can personalize.

 

Halloween Decorations

 

Start with "b" lights (those little ones you use at Christmas). Wrap them on your front porch railing or around your door. As your friends arrive, you may want a "greeter" at the front--dressed as a jester who is passing out goodies (we'll get to that later) or voodoo priestess. You can also hang a Mardi Gras banner. Hang stretched cotton (you know, like spider webs all spooky like) and Spanish moss off the banner.  Halloween cut-outs would look great. Carve several pumpkins and light them up with candles. Line your entryway with them.

 

Greet each guest with Halloween beads in orange and black or with a witch medallion. At the fabric store, buy purple, yellow, green and orange fabrics--the fancier the better. Drape this on your buffets, and over dining tables. You may want to add gold confetti, Mardi Gras beads in black and orange scattered around, etc., to make your presentation just right.

 

For centerpieces, use Mardi Gras hats anchored with balloon weights and with Halloween balloons coming from the center. Around the base, scatter beads as confetti. Simple, inexpensive and fun. Little pumpkin votives would be cool. Find them at any craft or home store. (Candles are very important in voodoo.) If the voodoo doesn't freak you out, use candles everywhere. Have bottles of "potions" and "powders" everywhere.

 

Scatter Halloween confetti around on all the buffet and other surfaces (if you don't mind cleaning up). Use black and orange crepe paper wherever you can. Get crazy, it could be fun. Of course, an animated grave ghoul is important, as are other spooky decorations for your table.

 

Hang more Spanish moss inside. Rent or use large tropical looking plants to add depth and swamp-like character to your décor. Place voodoo dolls everywhere, with pins, to evoke the spiritual senses.

 

Halloween Party Menu 

You can go Louisiana/Cajun since Mardi Gras is a New Orleans thing...or you can serve regular, inexpensive fare because at some point, no one is going to care. Serve it on Mardi Gras plates. See our full Mardi Gras menu. Illuminate your dining area with many candles.

Music

Get crazy. Pick a variety of tunes that suit Halloween and your own "festival." Or, orchestrate your own voodoo rituals. See www.voodoomuseum.com for some suggestions, or you can pull out the old Ouija board.

 

Halloween Party Favors 

Party411’s Creations for you always provide a great selection of personalized candy bar wrappers that make the perfect party favor.  There’s nothing better than candy on Halloween so take a moment to browse through this year’s selection of Halloween candy bar wrappers.  Or think about using Mardi Gras candy bar wrappers.

There are some great fun things. Of course, you'll want to pass out green glow jewelry,  Mardi Gras maracasthe beads, of course, noisemakers like neon tambourines, mini tambourines, feather Mardi Gras headboppers, purple, yellow and green leis, and some masks. Candles, potions and dolls would also fit your theme.
